Secrets & Wives

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio
Published November 22, 2011 at 1:00 PM MST

Wednesday, Doug talks to a British journalist about his look at polygamy in America. Sanjiv Bhattacharya says he's long been obsessed with religion but when he moved to the United States he knew very little about polygamy. He set out to learn about the 40,000 some fundamentalists that are associated with the practice. We'll talk to him about that journey and about the very complex world that he discovered.
